A high school baseball player has a 0.304 batting average. In one game, he gets 8 at bats. What is the probability he will get at least 6 hits in the game?

Answer 1

use binomial formula

n = number of trials

p = probability of success

x = number of successes

P(x successes in n trials with probability p) = C(n,x)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x), where C(n,x) = number of combinations of n items taken x at a time

here p = 0.304, n = 8.

Determine probabilities for x = 6, 7 and 8 and sum probabilities to get the final answer.
